I love NASPA because it makes my job easier. NASPA staff understand the challenges of running a state pharmacy association and offer great networking opportunities and education to help me be successful.
NASPA connects me with other state pharmacy associations. I have received so much support from my peers about the operations of an association as well as how to handle tough issues.

I’ve experienced NASPA both as a state association exec and now as an affiliate that partners with them frequently on pharmacy compounding issues, and I just can’t say enough good things about the professionalism of the NASPA team, their openness to collaboration, and their passion for helping state pharmacy associations accomplish the important work they do for pharmacists and patients.

Being a NASPA member helps me to envision the future of pharmacy by interacting with state, national and even international leaders in the profession. This contact allows me to help pharmacists in Kansas ready themselves for inevitable changes in the way they practice pharmacy.

NASPA is an excellent organization that provides state pharmacy associations a mechanism to network and learn from each other. The voice they provide for us on a national level is invaluable in representing the interests of our members.

Membership in NASPA is invaluable. It gives me immediate access to a brainstrust of pharmacy association executives who have an understanding of the day-to-day and longer term work I do; and can provide critical insight and lessons-learned when facing new opportunities and challenges in state pharmacy. NASPA staff has been an invaluable resource for providing key background and context for policy and practice issues that have aided in the passage of substantial pharmacy-related legislation in Maryland . In addition, NASPA serves as a bridge and sieve for me to get the best out of our engagement with national pharmacy associations.

As I look to how I can best lead our state association, NASPA and its members provide the invaluable experience and resources to fully support my efforts. It is a close-knit network of committed individuals working tirelessly to help support and advance pharmacy practice at a state and national level.

I classify NASPA as an association manager career extender. Longevity in this industry is painfully short and is challenged even more by the diversity within our profession. NASPA is the pharmacy association manager's "tool kit for success".

I love NASPA because they are able to connect multiple state and national pharmacy organizations together. These connections allow us to advance practice so that pharmacy teams are able to take care of patients better.
